About

I try to add cute special touches to my packages, like a drawing, sticker, or handwritten note.

In the process of assembling my products.

I designed the packaging for my products, too!

Sometimes I sell my creations in person at conventions and art fairs.

I love cute things, so now I create them!

I've always loved cute things and art. In high school I started getting really into "Hello Kitty" and other similar Japanese mascots. In college I began studying graphic design, and then I realized I could make my own cute characters. I researched starting a business and took some classes to help me with it, and June of 2011 Dorky Dino was born!

When making my characters, I usually start with a few hand-drawn sketches, then I move to the computer and create them in a vector format. That's when I get my designs printed on different items, then I hand assemble each and every one! You won't find these characters anywhere else, because they're my own unique creation straight from my brain!

Frequently asked questions

How long will my order take to get to me?

I ship within 1-3 business days of receiving your payment for ready-made items. On made-to-order items I ship within 3-5 business days.

First Class shipping within the US will take approximately another 3-5 business days. Priority mail within the US takes approximately 1-3 business days. Unfortunately, USPS does not guarantee their shipping times for First Class or Priority, so I can not give a guarantee, but I have found their estimates to be fairly accurate.

Can this be shipped faster?

Yes! Select "Priority Shipping" when you check out, OR add this listing to your order: https://www.etsy.com/listing/214096857/upgrade-to-shipping-priority-mail

This will upgrade your shipping from First Class (approximately 3-5 business days within the US) to Priority (approximately 1-3 business days within the US). Unfortunately USPS does not guarantee their shipping times for First Class or Priority, so I cannot give you a guaranteed arrival date, but I have found their estimates to be fairly accurate.

I have another question.
